The kingdom of Ceterna was one of 5 Great kingdoms. These kingdoms harvested great creatures including the same old elves dwarves and demons. from the great royal family to the poorest peasant, every individual in this kingdom had a magical life outside the ordinary.

the weather couldn't have been finer. A gentle breeze wafted about as people moved up and down the street , some in groups, others alone. the sun shined brightly above them.

in a quiet corner of the capital, A little shop stood crammed among the flats and other small establishments.

the small bell chimed as someone entered the shop. The inside of the shop looked far more vast than the outside did . the walls were hidden behind shelves lined with books . there were round wooden tables 5 feet apart from each other. at the entrance of the shop wqs a counter behind which a young man had just put down a book he was reading. the young man had relatively good looks and lucious white hair

"Good morning, how may i help you"

i put on my usual friendly smile as i looked at the customer before me. She seemed to be middle aged woman. In a trench coat and a matching hat, she obviously didn't wanna be seen her. I've dealt with these types before. It usually meant they were people of hiring status and they came here with a specific purpose in mind.

"good morning, i'm looking for someone named Mr Luon"

she also politely smiled as she greated me.I coudnt make out much of her features due to her outfit but she seemed to be pretty with short black hair that went upto her neck.

"That would be me, madam"

i Hope she doesn't think i'm too young to be who she's looking for, I know my voice isn't that deep but i don't look and sound like a child.

She looked around the shop furtively and looked once towards the door.

"no one's watching you, madam. i can ensure you my shop is safe"

oh my, looks like i'm about to have a troublesome client.

"… Well, yes I see… i'm just, a bit nervous that's all"

she had a crisp yet anxious voice .

" Madam, we both know why you're here. You simply need to make a formal request" I spoke gently hoping to calm her.

"j-just a formal request , right"

she stammered and looked at the books on the shelves one last time

" I request for the help of Mr Luon on a personal endeavor"

and just like that, she said the words that were like music to my ears.
